Usually drywalls tend to have a porous surface which give it a much easier place to grow in. However, by following this guide, you can assure yourself a clean and mould free wall.
To properly clean the mould, start by vacuuming all areas of it. You need to remove all spores of the mould, even if not visible at first. Make sure you reach all of the surrounding areas of the mould in addition to the mould itself.

Make sure to rinse the brush before re-using it to assure you won’t spread the mould and keep the wall as much sterilized as possible.
Once you see the wall is clean, use paper towels to absorb all moisture from it. Than, take a sanitary wipe and wipe over the clean wall to make sure that any option for leftovers spores is been removed. Finally, take some more dry paper tower and dry the wall for the last time.
